A lifelong love of the outdoors and admiration for Alfred Wainwright inspired Yorkshire-born engineer Chris Butterfield to build an archive honouring the world-famous fellwalker and safeguarding his legacy.  Chris has published numerous articles about Wainwright and has appeared on television and radio to discuss the life, work and achievements of the late, great fellwanderer.

Chris discusses the life of Alfred Wainwright and the people who knew him. Chris also talks about his new book – Wainwright Memories – featuring three unique Wainwright stories that took place during his later years. These tales will give the reader a deeper understanding of the inspirational fellwalker.

Lunchtime Talks are completely free to attend but can get a bit busy, so we recommend booking.
